As of today...How far are you from requalifying?

Been an odd year. Last year due to extreme leisure travel patterns, ended up past 110. This year due to travel and not having a house, we blew through 110 a month ago. Maybe this is what irrational loyalty looks like? Damn :P

A whopping 6 nights and 3,789 base points for me. It doesn't help that Hyatt has a small footprint in the US, their promos aren't very good and there's next to no benefits to make mid-tier status with them so I just stay the occasional night and enjoy "Discoverist" ""status"" thanks to a credit card.
And this is from someone who was Diamond in 2015 and 2016, mind you.

I am new to Hyatt this year. Tons of Hilton/Choice experience. Top level with Choice, for what that’s worth.
Got the new Hyatt CC about 3 months ago and for some reason they gave me 15 status nights instead of 5. Had some business trips and a bunch of 1x spend planned for 2018, so decided to go for Globalist.
Just had a staycation/FT DO dinner last night so up to 42 nights in 2018 I think with accrued CC spend.
Likely more mattress run/staycation nights needed at the last minute. Fortunately plenty of cat 1s in Chicagoland, plus the current promos help.

Because the Hyatt Globalist description doesn't say a word of it.

A member who, after March 1, 2017, who qualifies for Globalist status by satisfying the minimum Tier-Qualifying Night or Base Point accrual standards set forth above may re-qualify for Globalist status for the following year by either recording a minimum of fifty-five (55) Tier-Qualifying Nights or by earning one hundred thousand (100,000) Base Points during the current Calendar Year.

Also, 55 did it for me personally.

Most chains put an end to top tiers who do 25 check-ins and enjoy the highest benefits. Hilton still does 30 stays but then you can get Hilton Diamond for $450 via Amex so why bother?
IMHO Hyatt isn't a worthwhile chain to stay at with a lower status level, especially at the higher end properties where breakfast etc costs a pretty penny.

46 away, though it will be 45 at year end. I've continued to stay at the few Hyatts I really like or that are more conveniently located for my purposes than anything else.
i find it ironic that during so many of my Diamond years, I had to work at getting 25 stays, but that, without really trying, I'll be a Starriott Platinum Premier with Ambassador by the end of 2018.

Yup. If you didn't hit 60 last year or 100,000 points, then you need 60 to qualify this year. So if you got it from the end-of-year promo, you need 60 this time.

Are you positive about that? When did they change that and where is it outlined?
Because the Hyatt Globalist description doesn't say a word of it.

What's interesting is, the T&C (quoted and linked in a post above) imply that you need 60 nights the previous year to re-qualify with only 55 the following year. However, the page linked above states that you maintain globalist status after 55 qualifying nights in each subsequent year.
So... which is it? If you got 60 nights in 2017, and requalify with 55 nights in 2018... can you requalify with 55 nights again in 2019? T&C suggest not; the page linked above suggests so.

Sure it does. Click the link you posted, and scroll down to the bottom. Under Actions Needed: "Stay 60 qualifying nights or earn 100,000 base points in a calendar year", the bottom benefit is "Maintain Globalist status after 55 qualifying nights each subsequent year".
